Week 6 Fantasy Update: Lamar Jackson, Brock Purdy Out as Start/Sit Decisions Intensify

Roster volatility from injuries, byes plus illness designations is forcing managers to monitor statuses through Saturday.

Overview

  • The Ravens ruled out Lamar Jackson with a hamstring injury for Week 6, confirming a major QB absence on the slate.
  • San Francisco ruled out Brock Purdy, and team reporting indicates Mac Jones is likely to start for the 49ers.
  • Reporting indicates the Bengals plan to turn to Joe Flacco at quarterback against Green Bay, while Ja’Marr Chase is questionable with an illness.
  • With Chargers RB Omarion Hampton on injured reserve, analysts expect a split between Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal, with a slight lean toward Vidal for Week 6 usage.
  • Carolina ruled out Chuba Hubbard, positioning Rico Dowdle as a strong play after a 234-yard, 1-TD outing, as outlets also push last-minute start/sit tools for lineup help.
